The Scion xB debuted in 2003 as a North American version of the Japanese-market Toyota bB. Its unabashedly boxy design and affordable price were aimed directly at younger buyers. Built on the Yaris platform, the first-generation (2004-2006) xB offered a reliable 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and a surprisingly spacious interior, making it a practical and quirky choice.
The xB's appeal is rooted in its simplicity, reliability, and immense potential for customization. It quickly became a favorite in the tuner scene, with a massive aftermarket offering everything from body kits to performance parts. Collectors now seek out clean, unmodified first-generation examples and the limited-production Release Series (RS) models, which featured unique colors and equipment.
The market for the xB remains very affordable, with an average sale price under $7,000. While many are simply used as daily transportation, exceptional examples are starting to command higher prices. Low-mileage, stock first-generation models and rare RS versions have sold for over $20,000, signaling a growing appreciation for this modern cult classic.
Buying Tips
- The 1NZ-FE engine is very durable, but check for consistent maintenance records. Timing chain rattle on high-mileage cars isn't uncommon.
- Look for rust in the rocker panels and around the rear wheel wells, especially on cars from northern climates.
- Many xBs are heavily modified. Scrutinize the quality of aftermarket parts and installation, particularly for suspension and electrical work.
- Interior plastics are prone to scratching, and the driver's seat bolster can show significant wear. Check that all power accessories function correctly.
- If buying a Release Series model, verify its specific color, interior trim, and numbered plaque to ensure its authenticity.
Prices for the Scion xB range from $570 for well-used examples to $23,000 for pristine, low-mileage collector models.
